~: f SUN. SUL/114 SiVIS DICIIRIt /ILIUM ALIDE,AT ? .L 0 AT D 0 N, kitlDAY i JUNE 23, 1809. A report bas * reached us this day, stating, that a I,::tter from Prague, dated , the gth instant, had just received, which mentions another battle tlt4l had taken place between the Austrians and .The issue, 'it is said, seemed to be doubt ful Atli , . towards the close of the anion, - when 'an Austrian rei forcetnent i under the command ut the" .Arebduke Jolt N, arrived, and decided it corn piete:y in favour of the former. As we have not seen* 'the letter, we li.now not what cotifidenOe is due to it. We have received American Papers to-the 96th cit.—The only art de of any' importance' which they contain is the of .the President on the onenini of the er.r.tirdinary Session. of Congress. The language is moderate, and if the President really , te.?;s, a ne professes to do, impartiality towards the J3elligcrent Powers, there is every reason to believe that the diderenceik between this Country and Ame rica will be speedily adjusted. The Opposition Writers are still venting their spleen against his Majesty's .S . peeelt, und their-chief objeatioo -seems. to be agaicig, the determination of Nl,;tisters to support the cause of Austria and Spain. he plain infetence, if we are to suppbse these Writers are -sincere, is, that they really wish Au . totia,atiti Spain to fall . t?eneath the yoke of France ! Alter such a signal triumph as the Austrians have ecently obtained, a triumph which hashroken that bpt:ll of invincibility which watt supposed to be at taeled to BeUSAPaaTE'S military ClLiraaer on the Ccintirteot, and' which may strongly tend to MOO the States nOw enslaved by France, into en asset titan of their independence, we could hardly have, believed that any men 'Who pretend to the name of. Britons, would have attempted to dis courage the efforts of this country to assist in the -deliverance , of Europe from the tyranny of Such politiciatii are pitiably weak, if they are indeed sincere, and .we know not what epithet to apply to then if they are'not so. We are told that The deliveraticeof Europe isisphrase that has cost us much, and which is likely to cost us more." Bu t was ever French power carried to so great and alarm i an extent as it vas previous to the late AuStrian 14i:wry, and. was Bt/ONAPAttTE ever reduCed to a situaiion more likely to excite . the vengeance of surrounding States, and to put a atop to his career, than et the present monieut ? Shall we then, for the sake of a few " rascal Counters" refuse to. contribute to the assistance of suffering Europe, when the eventual success of BUONAPARTE s the'niust rancorous and the most powerful adver• nary that We ever had to encounter, might draw fatal consequeoces upon ourselves, if the whole of the Continent Were prostrate at his feet?—No; we should incur the indignation of mankind and the Contemp t of poster;ty, Iron) pitiful motives of a pecuniary 'sa line we should withdraw our assistanceat soawfid and loollinent.a.crisis. The Tyrolese are up in arms, and upon all occasions, testify their detestation, of the Jfieneli : the North of Gr...rinany trlanitelitS the earns „aentiiitents, and are rising against the general Ty , rant of -Europe, kik vassal Princes are groaning proteCtion, and are pantiog for the Mo.. meta of release. Portugal is etfedually cleated of the Enemy, ,and he is gradoally declining in gpaitil y , ;!1 tLn is the eveniful period, when affair's wear to ontisitig atiaspea, that we are told,' that " instead ot . rinining in ,pursuit of adventures upon the Danube and the Tagus i we , woulddh well to look at our own internal. situation." As to our adventures on the frAgus, they havo,bden attencled,with glorious proofs Uf our: v4luur, and have ended in the liberation of our Ally. Si;ell adventures will not only be ho pourable. to this Country, but in a more pacific pe-, .iiod will he highly advantageous also; Therefore we should not repine much at 'the cost for, tile present. It the Austrian adventures on 'the Danube should be equally successful in the end, with our assistance; if our national glory. should not be• so much con ,eertied, the national interest will not ultimately be , less' wit zinced. Therefore t hese “ - adventures en the Wrathy," in reality relate to "our own internal situa ion," Which .we are ehiOly Advised to regard, as they tend to enable other States to rise into independence juid recta it y and bctice,to enter into newcertneCtiops With tr,is country, from nuitiVes-of gratitude and in terest, nod 'coosequently, by re•opetiing the chan Dels of commerce, to improve our internal situation, as well 03 ,augment our national importance.— etindua thctdQre, to ose the., words of the Writers to whom we ere alluding, we .shall cam p):l4 , g what is becoming our charaeler, and what' is ciAt3ncive to our interes;si" we shalt enjoy the gra tittidt. of the present age, and QIISUIV the.aduairotion is i.Lsterity. NAVAL N E WS. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 2 t .—The French prizes, cap lured by' he *lira,' that arrived here yesterday front st.

The success of CtiARLES has made even formal enetniqs speak out, and our greatest joy is, that litrobriPaaTE cannot now so easily get his recruits. The campaigns in Poland, in 1807, and those in Vain and Austria, will have ex:- hausted more than he can repair from the men (able to bear arms) in France. Our only-apprehensions are from the Russians, whose columns,must divide our army, and yet the Hungatian Insuireaion goes on so well, that we have mttny. hopes. It is thought the Archduke will attack 'the Tete de Punt, and it is the general opinion he will thus draw forth th e . enemy troth Inder-Lobnu. If this should happen, you will hear, probably, within h day or two as iioott ! as ourselves. Our friend Ststrci.r is recovering tf his severe wound.

WASHINGTON, MAT 22.-s• This day both Houses of Congress - assembled in their respeCtite chambers., In the Senate 2 t Members attended, in the Lower Hoeee, at the first call leo Members appeared. General Varnum is rieseleded Speaker. PRESIDENT'S IssIiSSAGE. This day at twelee o'clock, the President of the United. States cemmunicated, by Mr. Graham, the following Message) to both Houses of Congress:— . e Washington City, May 11, MI. f r FELLOW CITIZENS OF TUB SIiNATII, AND OF " THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, on the first occasion of meeting you, it affirds me much satisfaCtion to be able to communicate the commencement of a favourable change in our Fo reign telations ; the critical state of which Induced a. Session of Congress at this period. " In consequence of the provisions of the Aa in terdicting commercial intercourse with Great Britain and France, our Ministers at London and Paris were, without delay, instructed to let it be under stood by the Freud) and British Governments, that the authority vested in the Executive, to re new commercial intercourse with their -respedive tuitions, would be exercised in the age specified by that Act. " Sopa after these instruaions were dispatched, it was found that the Britieb Government, antici pating, from early preceediugl,Ql Congreletee their last Session', the state of our laws which has had the effect of placing the two Belligerent Powers on a footing of equal ,restriCtions,..and relying on the conciliatote disposition of the United States, had transmitted to their Legation here provisional in structions, not only to offer satisfaCtion for the ate tack on the frigate Chesapeake, and .to make known the determittattan of his Britannic Majesty, to send an Envoy 4xtraerclinary with powers to conclude a treaty on all points between the two countries; but moreover, to signify his willingness. in the mean time, to withdraw his Orders in Council, in the persuasion that the intercourse with. Great Britain would be renewed on the part of the United States. " These steles of the British Government led to the correspoudence and the proclamation now laid before rut by virtue of which, the commerce be tween the two C:etetries will be renewable after the 10th day of June next. " Whilst I take pleasurelri doing justice to the Counsels of his Beitanitic Majesty, which, no longer adhering to the'policy which made an abandonment by France of her decrees a pre-requisite to a revo cation. of the British Orders, have substituted the amicable course which has issued thus happily ; I cannot do less than trier to the proposal heretofore made on the part of . the'United States, einbiacieg a like restoration of the suspended commerce, as a proof of the spirit of accommodation which has at no !ile been intermitted, mid tu the result which now calls ,for our congrettilations, as corroborating the principles by which the public councils have been guided during a .period ut the most trying embarrass ments. " The discontinuance of the British Orders as they respect the United Stateir, having beet) thus a. ranged. a cunt •.unication of the event has been torwartleti, in our of our public veesels, to our Mt tnnovi:ittireil i i t t oi l on i D i n ith s i t lee ru rie t ub t , i yt o i n celp s ade o t o f a , n+lderations which press the Freud) Government a revocation of its decrees, or such a modification of them, as that theyeshall geese to violate the neutral commerce of the Waited, States. The revision of our commercial laws, proper to adept them to the arrangement which has taken place with' Great Britain, will doublets engage the rawly atiention 'of Congrees: It will be worthy, at the same time, of their just and provident care, to make such further alterations in the laws, as will pore especially protect and foster the several branches of manufacture which have been recently Instituted or extended by the laudable exertions of our CILIZeIIS. " It will rest with. the judgment of Congress to decide hew far the Coange in our external prospects may authorise any toodificanoni of the laws relating t o the army and navy establishments. " The works of defence fur our sea-port towns and harbours . haVe proceeded with as much activity as the season at the year and other circumstances would admit. It is necessary, however, to state, that the appropriations hitherto tattle being found to be deficient, a farther piovisien, will claim the ,early consideration of Congress. . " The whole of the 8 per cent. stock remaining due by the United Stales, amounting to 5,300,000 dollars, had been reimbursed on the last day of. the year 1808 and on the Ist day of April last, the sum in the Treasury exceeded tine and a half millions of dollars. • This, together H tilt the receipts of the cur rent year; ou'accoorit of former revenue bonds, will probably be nearly, If not altogether sufficient to de fray the expeeces ul tlie. year. Bet the suspension of the exports and the consequent decrease of impor tations during the last Iwelye months, will neces sarily cause asreat diminution in the receipts of the year 18 tO. Alter that year, should our foreign re latiOns be undisturbed, the Revenue will again be snore thatecuninterisurate to all the expenditures. " Under the existing atpeti of atEsire, have thought it not inconsistent with a jpst precaution, to have the gurt-beets,,Willl the exception of those at ,New Orleans, placed in a situation incurring no ex pence beyond that requisite for their preservation, and convenieticy fur future service; and to have the, crews of those at .New Orleans reduced to the nutn ber required for theie,navigation and safety. ". I have tlemight ,also, that our citizens detached in quotas of militia, amounting to 1 °tette°, muter the Act cif March, 1808, might not improperly be accordingly e t i c ;e r v t e li d lg ir ipy o r ii ociii. t .c es encs:tet trade si.l i aiAl they were held for inanediate service. , A discharge of th e m ha s b ecu in raising and organizing the etleitional,military ferce, for which provisioti Was made by the Act of April l 1.808; together with the dispoaittort or the troops will appear by a report which the Secretary of War is preparing, acct which will he laid before: you., tit' the :tcitlitiuu,tl fiigtrte required by an Ad of itstv, e a:xia)rel last tcitai S . tte e , s i s tib i j o t: v ers ' es t a i: ,d;; O .n ;! ei 1,1 4 n te t t yuloso,nr),aaal'etnodutallhju.esieyfro,voirctAeh, Report which the Secretary of the Navy is prepay tog on the subject, to be tail! before Con,;ie s, chew, at the same time, the progress male in o owing and manning these ships.

" Aware of the inconvenience of a protraied Ses sion at the pre+ent season of the year, I forbear to call the attention of the Legislature to any matters not particularly urgent. It remains therefore only to assure you of the fidelity and alder' y with which I shall co-operate tot th.• welfare and happiness of our country, and to pray that it may experience continuance of the Divine blessings by which a has been so signally favoured.
